Cardinham Woods: Into the Darkness

There’s something about the woods. I’m not sure if it’s the eerie mood shifts, or nature’s magic, sweeping through the undisturbed area that we as humans cannot always control. Even though Cardinham woods in Cornwall is looked after, the area still feels very much owned by nature. Darkness becomes increasingly apparent as you step deeper into the heart of Cardinham Woods, with little people daring to enter the very hidden depths of this truly magical place.

As the mist rolled across the trees on an autumnal November afternoon, I couldn’t help but wonder about the events that may have happened over the years in this forest. Miles and miles of trees and nature take over this area of Cornwall, changing atmosphere as the seasons shift. These images taken on a cold November afternoon offers a description better than words…

Cardinham Woods is located in central Cornwall, just off of the A30 near Bodmin. Cardinham is looked after by Forestry England and is operated by a pay as you go carpark. I hugely recommend a visit to this magical if you’re in Cornwall, especially in Autumn/Winter.
